What information do I need to claim the money I find with Found Money?

Found Money will provide all of the unclaimed account information necessary for you to contact the financial institution holding the account. When you contact the financial institution, you will most likely need to provide them with one or more of the following:

Social Security Number

Birth Certificates

Marriage Certificates

Death Certificates

Proof of Previous Addresses

Identification Such as Drivers Licenses or Passports

Found Money does not accept or require any of the above information in order to help you locate your money.

To determine if your name is listed in our database, you will need to do a free search on our homepage. A Free Search allows you to check as many names as you like, totally free of charge, to determine whether there is any unclaimed money available under those names. Once you have found your name, a Detailed Search is the next step in the process of claiming your
money. After purchasing a membership with Found Money, you will able to login to our Member’s Area to start your Detailed Search. This is where you will receive all of the account details and contact information necessary for you or your family members to claim the money you find.

Yes. When you begin your search, enter your family name in the "Last Name" box, and leave the "First Name" box empty. Then you click the "Click Here to Begin Your Free Search" button and you will see a list of all the accounts with your last name. Please note that with common names there may be hundreds of matches, which may result in very slow loading, especially with older browsers and slower Internet connections.

Some of the names listed will have a middle initial with them. If there is no middle name or initial, then it was not provided to us with the account details. Occasionally, a name will be followed by various abbreviations. It’s helpful to know that the way that names are listed in our database, are posted, as they were when the original account was created. If you do not recognize middle initials, or abbreviations, then chances are it belongs to someone with the same name since you did not use those with your own name.

Membership entitles you to unlimited number of names in our Detailed Search Area. For each name you search, you will receive all of the account details listed under that name. For example, if you search "John Smith" and we have 20 accounts listed under that name, you will be able to view the details of all 20 accounts to determine which of them belong to you. A $19.95 membership lasts two months and for $24.95 your membership will last one full year.

In addition with your searches you will also receive a complimentary unclaimed money monitor for one full year from the date of your purchase for each name that you search. This is a limited time offer, free of charge, valued at $12.99. See Service Details

We have unlimited search packages available: $19.95 for two months or $24.95 for one full year. Your Membership entitles you to search as many times as you wish in our Detailed Search Area. For each name you search, you will receive all of the account details listed under that name.

WE GUARANTEE that if the account on our list belongs to you and you attempt to claim it, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE MONEY OWED TO YOU or we will refund 100% your Membership fee!

NO refunds will be issued
if a membership was used for commercial purposes.

In order to receive a refund of your Membership purchase you must fill out the appropriate financial institution claim form that corresponds with the unclaimed account in our database within 120 days. Once you receive a written document from the unclaimed financial institution stating that they attempted to match your account via SSN, and/or Drivers License, but were unsuccessful, you must fax or mail a copy of that document to Foundmoney.com to receive a 100% refund of your Membership fee. No refunds will be issued after 120 days from the date of purchase.

What type of information will I receive after performing a Detailed Search or calling the Live Operator Search?

Once you have requested further details using any of the payment methods, in most cases you will receive the account holder’s full name and previous address, the year in which the account was last contacted, the nature of the funds, the amount in the account, and instructions on how to retrieve the funds.

An account held by a State Agency which does not release the dollar value

An account without a fixed cash value such as shares of stock, safety
deposit box contents, wills, etc.

The State Agency holding the account will only disclose the actual amount
to the rightful owner.

In cases where people have similar or identical names, the only way to be
certain whether or not the unclaimed account listed belongs to
you is to Purchase a Membership, conduct a Detailed Search and submit a
claim form for that unclaimed account.

I bought a membership, but when I login, it takes me to a page to buy more searches!

The search fields on our homepage are for first time visitors to our site to see if their name is listed in our database or not. If so, the option to “claim your package” is there to begin registering with our site. Once you have registered, you will need to login to our Members' Area with your username and password to begin your detailed searches. Once in the Members' Area, you are not asked to pay again.

Unclaimed money monitor is a service that will automatically notify you via email when a new unclaimed account is located for the name you have ALREADY searched, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY SEARCHES ARE PENDING. Cost of this service is 12.99 per year, and it’s included with your membership complimentary FREE OF CHARGE for limited time. This service will expire after one full year from the purchase date of your membership.

Occasionally your card may show a charge, which is in fact a
preauthorization charge your bank has place on your account, at this point no money has been withdrawn from your credit card. Your bank's automated system will approve or decline the transaction based on the information you have entered. If you enter an invalid billing address while this transaction is requested, a preauthorization charge is displayed on your account. This does not mean that our company has received these funds; it means you attempted one or more transactions and your card was declined. More often than not, it is because the credit card billing address you entered on our site did not match the address on file with your bank. When you have a preauthorization charge, it may stay on your account readout for several days, depending on your bank's policy. When it is deemed that the transaction is not fully completed, the preauthorization charge is removed and the funds are returned to your account.

This is a standard process with banks that issue debit cards, which are also used as credit cards. To determine the exact reasoning for the decline and/or error, you will need to contact your bank directly. Once the problem is resolved, you may register with FoundMoney again, using the correct information.
